Brady Tkachuk vs Mitch Marner

[Crow]

The question being asked isn’t whether Marner or Tkachuk is better, but rather who you would rather have on your team, which takes into account salary and your team’s existing roster and skill sets.

I don’t see any mention of contracts in this hypothetical situation. Doesn’t change my answer.

Good for you.

It’s pretty ambiguous as to whether you can accommodate Marner’s contract or Tkachuk’s and how you want to allocate those dollars. "Who would you take on your team?"

Other Marner vs. Tkachuk polls have been worded differently. This one doesn’t ask who the better player is.

Some people actually read the poll question while others don’t.

Marner is essentially redundant on Ottawa with Stutzle here and Tkachuk is also the Captain of the team and brings a skillset that no one else on the team has, which is why I voted Tkachuk.

I don't really love Brady Tkachuk as a player or leader or any of that, but i think i'd still take him over Marner, who has to be one of the biggest "empty calorie" superstars of the current generation.

Really surprised at results. Mitch really is constantly underrated. Hes the fall guy for the entire leafs roster, yet is the most consistent. This poll should really be lopsided the other way.

This is very true. Both he and Matthews have an equally long track record of having difficulty playing and producing close to their level in the post season, but half 90% of the fans are way more forgiving of Matthews for it.
